My Physics teacher had submitted my final grade for AP Physics 2 at an 88. However, I consulted with him and he regraded one test and it actually bumped me up to a 91. So my GPA for the end of Junior Year would actually increase a little bit.
Do you think waiting for the grade changing process that might take a few more weeks would be worth it? I’ve set a hard hard deadline by September 31st, due to the October 15 deadline for Engineering. Do you suggest an earlier date?
@FriscoDad needs to weigh in.
Why is it taking so long for jr year transcript to update, months later? Is there a way to speak to your AP, Registrar or counselor about this?
I agree, even a slight bump in gpa-and certainly a B to an A in that class-is a big deal.
Yk tbh, I don’t know how long. He submitted the form (supposedly) last week 
I’ll check on it tomorrow.
Just remember, even tho A&M Engineering deadline is Oct 15, the Brown Foundation deadline is Oct 10.
And again…I sound like a broken record 
…
NEVER wait for a deadline at A&M, ALWAYS apply early/as soon as something opens (university application, dorm deposit, adding Sports Pass to your cart, applying to orgs, etc).
I’ll wait until this week and if the GPA doesn’t change I’ll just assume it won’t for a while 
Then I’ll submit.
My DD is a NMSF and already applied to TAMU, including scholarship items, in early August. She received her admission notice in AIS last week.
How do we notify TAMU that she is a semifinalist, specifically so that she can be considered for the Brown Foundation Scholarship?
Thanks in advance!
I think you have a great shot at it!
My son was awarded Brown Scholarship last year but did not go to TAMU. He had similar stats as you in terms of SAT, PSAT etc. As for his extra curriculars he had leadership positions in many clubs, was into debate, theater etc. He was elected as president of mayor’s youth council. He interned for a city council member who wrote his recommendation letter. He had a lot community service hours and talked about it passionately in his interview which aligns with the mission of Brown foundation. It is a great program and Brown scholars get a lot of amazing opportunities on campus which they explained to us when we attended their red carpet welcome day! It was indeed a red carpet welcome! Best of luck!
First of all, thank you so much for all the critical information.
One thing I’m not so sure - you mentioned ’ In any year, TAMU has about 150 NMF total enrollment (spanning 4 years so about 40 NMF enrolled). Approximately 700 NMSF applied, with about 350-400 NMSF enrolled in freshmen classes’ - is it ‘40 NMF enrolled per year’, or ‘350-400 NMSF enrolled in freshman class’, am I interpreting it wrong? Every year out of 16000 NMSF, 15000 will be NMF, so the difference between NMSF and NMF is small.
Asking just want to see the chance of getting the Brown scholarship.
Hope you are still here 
Sorry about the confusion. In major ISDs NMSF is almost the same as NMFs, but in smaller ISDs, it can be as low as 1 in 4.
Out of 150 to 200 NMSF enrolled, about 30-40 will be selected. It is not a fixed number. So chance can be 1 out of 3 in some years but 1 out of 6 in other years.
